Racing blue 182 with buckets and (maybe) a cage on the way into Cirencester, I use my 172 cup daily and never see any 172/182’s so excited to see a fellow Renaultsport Clio on my commute!

Saw a 182 Trophy parked in the car park at Prescott on Saturday.

I've just bought an R26 Megane and annoyingly the locking wheel nut key was missing. I found www.lockingwheelnutkeys.co.uk online sent them a photo and 3 days later they sent a replacement locking wheel nut key out. I was a bit dubious but to be fair it worked like a dream and saved me having...

Nice one, they are great cars for Sprints and Hillclimbing, I have always fancied having a go at Curborough. I'm a member of the Bristol Motor Club and they do a couple of good sprints at Castle Combe if you ever fancied it. I'll be interested in what seat you go for as that's the only thing...

A bit of a thread resurrection... Here is my Clio 172 cup being used at a Castle Combe Sprint earlier in the year.

Many thanks Arnie!

Looks good, I use greenlight insurance, I think Neil from greenlight is on or was on this forum. I've had good service from them. Regarding the turinis I'd go for silver OEM spec (but then I am biased!) Will look forward to updates!

Just an update.. The car began to struggle to start, it would crank but not fire straight away. I wiggled the wires which were connected to the crank sensor and tried again and it started. So I ordered from Renault a new crank sensor and loom, fitted it, it was a bit of a pig fitting the new...

Hi everyone, Coming to work today, halfway through the journey, I pulled out to overtake a car in second gear and planted my foot and the car just cut out, ignition still on but engine not running, I managed to coast to a layby where I decided to take a look to see if I could see anything...

Thanks guys, I’ll try not to leave it 4 years next time, it’s got a few scratches and dents but it’s not bad for an old French car! Another pic plus one from when I used it at Silverstone.

So I thought I may update everyone, I still have my cup, I use it occasionally and have just got it back on the road for summer. As per my previous post all that time ago, I had all the wheels refurbished and then Michelin Pilot Sport tyres, new cup dampers and cooksport springs, I lowered the...

I hadn't driven or even started my cup for months, so decided to go and try to start it...…..turned the key and....nothing, so checked the battery voltage and it was very low.... charged the battery up and tried again but to no avail, also the dreaded red immobiliser light remained on...

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone can confirm I have an alternator which is not working as it should. I have just started using the car (172 Cup) and when the car idles the stop and battery light will be illuminated. Once the revs increase the light will go off. I have checked the condition of the...

I got 16mpg after a 40 minute session on Silverstone GP circuit at the weekend, can get mid 40's if driving sensibly on the road.

I've had my cup for just under a year, I don't use it as a daily although did use it last week as my daily to work and also for a run up to Silverstone at the weekend. Yes the car is harsh, doesn't run great first thing in the morning, is a bit noisy, the plastics inside are rubbish, but find a...

Really interesting hearing peoples thoughts on what will be a future classic car from the Renaultsport range, imho the future classics are the limited run models or the models which have something special about them, so 182 trophy, 172 cup etc. This is all quite subjective however, down to...

From Silverstone last weekend

Looks a good car to start with. Should be able to pick up a new UCH Module from ebay or from here easily enough.

Also when towing take account that you don't want to be clipping the apex of corners as you would in a car, you'll need to be wider going round corners, otherwise the trailer will be mounting curbs, pavements etc, hope that makes sense? Like everyone has said take your time and you'll be fine.

Managed to snap the bleed nipple on my front caliper.......not good, managed to get the gear decal fitted and then lacquered to my gear knob...good.

Hi Ali, I've been involved in motorsport all my life, driving, spannering, engineering, etc, I also went to Uni to study Motorsport Management. My advice would be to get yourself on the motorsport ladder, as Advikaz said above Formula Ford would be a great place to start, I know people who...

Cool Thanks Danny

Hi everyone, my rear heat shield is missing from the car, the piece which sits above the back box and attaches to the underside of the car. Can you still get these from Renault or will it be a case of waiting for a 2nd hand one to come up for sale? Or just not bother with one? Thanks everyone

I emailed the seller who stated that there are about 5 different types of radio for the Clio, is this true? Or is there a way to tell which i would need? It's for a 2003 Clio 172 cup. The type of radio looks exactly the same as the original ones? Sorry this is turning into abit of a saga.

Ok so have tried lots of times and still the same issue, I don't know if it's a faulty radio or there is a wiring issue? I had an up rated Kenwood stereo installed previously which worked fine. Think it'll be going back to the eBay seller. Thanks for everyone's help. Andy

Thanks Dave So it appears it must just be how I'm inputting it?!

Thanks have tried 5 nothing happened and then 6 again and just went back to saying CODE. I am not sure if the code is correct and I know that some people can get the codes so just wanted to see if the code is correct before I throw the unit back to the guy from eBay. Thanks for the replies so far.

Hello could someone help please? I've just bought a Clio radio off eBay as I wanted the standard radio back in, the radio had the code written on it, however when I try and use it, it doesn't work? I am installing it with the buttons and then pressing and holding the number 6 once it's entered...

Ok so the Manifold to Cat fixings on my 172 cup have been bodged, basically 1 bolt through holds it, I've bough the Renault fixing kit but before I tackle this job is there a way of getting to the area easily, from looking it looks very difficult as the anti roll bar is in the way and there is...

Ok so as a few of you asked, here are the only pics I have at the moment which was the ones once I had collected the car..
